oh the weather outside is FRIGHTFUL!!

So it's been a while since my last entry. I can't say I've been up to much. Took a little break from everything as I took on my very first crochet project.... making a penguin pillow for my best friend, it's still in the making 'cuz i got frustrated on the feet and kinda just put it aside. I'll probably pick it back up this weekend.

What did I do during all that inactive crochet time you ask? Well, I submerged myself in Korean dramas.. what bliss! It helped that I had a little more than 1 full week off from work, I got all that much more viewing in ^_^

Here are some on the movies & series I watched, as well as my take on them...

starting with movies:

A Wolf's Temptation - (fun, action, saaad but good)

He Was Cool - (aka The Guy was Cool - cute, funny, kinda corny)

Innocent Steps - (cute, dance, w Moon Geun-yeong)

Jenny, Juno - (cute, similar to "Juno" but they keep the baby)

Marrying the Mafia - Movie (comedy, cute)

My Boss, My Hero - (strange, stupid, w action)

My Sassy Girl - (awersome, cute & funny, little sad; romantic comedy)

Windstruck - (soo sad, but hehe ending, must watch after My Sassy Girl to get ending lol)

100 Days With Mr Arrogant - (cute, very funny)


and the series I watched:

Sweet 18 (cute, funny, tearjerker)

The Painter of the Wind (heartwrenching, tearjerking beautiful movie, sad end) **fav


so, umm, yeah I guess I've been kinda busy lol being the new form of couch potato, instead of watching tv I watch kdramas on ze interwebs ^_^ but really... what else can I do when it's FREEZING outside!!

I've also recently (as of the new year) started to do some exercises.
Really, I should've never stopped.. had to do physio a few years back 'cuz I had injured my back when I fell on the snow & ice covered sidewalks (stupid mayor couldn't be bothered to put sand on streets & sidewalks).. not fun, also one of the reasons I now hate going outdoors when there's snow.
So, yeah, they had given me exercises to do and told me to continue even after my physio was over because if I gain weight I'll always have back pains grrrr and these exercises help to strengthen my back muscles and kinda firm me tummy up...
I slacked, then I altogether stopped.. I've since gained some weight back and recently my back started hurting again. *exasperated sigh* So there you have it, my reason for starting up my exercises again.. I know I have to start walking more as well, but with there being snow out there I'm not partial to the idea of doing that and I don't have the money to go to a gym... unless anyone knows of a workout gym that's free? Anyone? Oh! and it'd have to be in the Montreal area.

winter wonderland ^_^

It's the first official snowfall today, and with this comes our first snow storm of the year! woohoo!! ^_^ It's actually not that bad, really. Only about 35cm of snow, pretty good. *nods in agreement*

We'll see what it's like at work tomorrow, busy or not? Speaking of work, I lived through a tmi yesterday. OMG j'en reviens pas!!! I work at a call center for roadside assistance. This lady calls me, telling me she needs a boost and the car's parked in the lot of a resto. So, I ask her for the address and her response "I don't know, I'm in the washroom" ah! ok *shudders* I put her on hold so I can go look for an address, and when I get back on the line, she doesn't answer right away. Oh no, I get sound effects! She was WIPING!!!! eww eww eww gross gross gross
Please people if you're going to call for assistace PLEASE call after you've done your business or at the very least don't tell me about it!!! Traumatized I was, I tell you!

On a good note though, after work I went to the dollar cinema with my mom & aunt and we watched Julie & Julia. I had been wanting to watch it for a long time. It was an awersome moovie!

I saw the listings for the other movies playing there this week and I'm eager to go back tomorrow but it'll depend on how I'm feeling after a 10hr shift, I was asked to do overtime because of the snow storm *nods* really it's a mini storm, nothing compared to last year's. Now THAT was crazy!

They're playing The Shining and though I already own that movie, it'd love to watch it on big screen... redrum redrum lol There's also The Goonies, Inglourious Basterds and The Pink Panther with Peter Sellers - awersome movie! Ok so I wouldn't watch all of these tomorrow, but hey at $2.30 a ticket I'm for it.
